brokers were placed in the pit, and in order to
raid to-day the crowd would have had TO part
with a great deal more wheat. The clique
brokers had unlimited orders to buy June wheat,
and they took all the crowd would sell them
They allowed few parties to settle their June
contracts at Csc, but only those were allowed to
settle who had it sold to them lower down, go

for the clique. The gossip said that $4,000 900
in currency was started from Cincinnati last
night June wheat opened &c higher, at $780,

the day, closing at 884c The wheat indicator
was changed from June TO the July option this
morning but June still remains the more active
option. July wheat also opened &c higher. at
S64c. hung steady around 500 0865c during the
day and closed at 86Ec. Trading in June and
July was only moderately active during the lat
ter part of the session July corn opened shade
firmer at 40sc. but prospects of large receipts of
corn made it weaker and it sold down in the first
hour to 39ac. Later in the day large purchases
caused increased frmness. and July closed at 40

ket opened that CLIQUE brokers were in the pitt

get rid of the balance Of the clque's purchases OF
that month, which were made over month ago.

been marketed. June corn opened at 385c and
closed at the same figure. July ribs opened DC
lower at 81. 20, and sold MP during the morning
to 81 80. and remained at that figure until the
close. July lard opened at sc rs, and closed at

less. The leading futures ranged as follows

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.

Trade Rather Quier, but Prices Firm and
Steady-Crop Prospects Excellent
INDIANAPOLIS, May IS.
There was a rather quiet tone to trade to day,
as compared with that of last week. still prices
were steady and firm, and a cheerful feeling per-
vades business circles. In going through the
various markets no fluctuations in values worthy
of mention were TO be noticed. The dizziness is,
doubtless but temporary. yet off days for the
next two months may be looked for frequently,
unless this year exception to all former
years. The advancing tendency to the coffee
market has apparently been checked. Sugars
are very firm. but no higher Canned goods are
we'll sold out. In foreign fruits there is more
activity Lemons are steady. and in good de-
nand. Oranges steadier. Foreign oranges are
becoming more scarce, and higher prices may
be- looked for. The produce markets present no
new features. Strawberries are in abundant
supply. much of the stock being poor in quality:
prices weak. Gooseberries on the market at
So bushel. Green peas and beans
in larger supply; prices weaker. Old DO
tatocs firm, and meeting with ready SALE New
potatoes, receipts still light and demand good al
quotations The poultry market is dull and
prices weak at all points. Eggs steady and
meeting with ready sale 10 cents per dozen
for placing in ice storage houses. Butter in
large supply. and much of it Door stuff Much
too large per cent of the butter made in Indi-
ana is OF poor quality. The requisites for first
class butter-making are good cream and acquired
skill With one and not the other it will be i'm
possible to accomplish the desired effect. Clean
illness is another very important factor. This is
perhaps the cheapest requisite in fine butter
making, but must be strictly adhered to- for
with pure and skilled labor, and un-
clean, sour and dirty utensils for making butter
in or holding cream, the other good effects must
suffer materially IN the final results. How easy
these foreign favors are detected by expert but
ter buyers, none know better than sellers of
dairy products who have to contend with the
may complaints and rebuffs buyers offer.
GRAIN.
The local market continues in the tone
Of two three days past. and unsettled feeling
is noticeable in prices. Bidding on Change was
slow and a disposition shown to let futures en-
tirely alone until the future of the market is
better understood. Prices for all grades of
wheat were a shade easier. Sales after call were
made of No Mediterranean at 851c on track and
of No. 2 red at 853c on track. Offerings of corn
were meaeer. Still, prices ruled I &c lower
than on Tuesday. Offerings of oats were more
liberal and prices were weaker. Track bids on
Change to-day ruled as follows:

Mr.. Gallinger, Of New Hampshire,
inquired whether the statistics of the
last election would not show that n
much larger proportion of voters went
to the polls in New England than in
Georgia.
Mr.. Turner said that on his own in

election, and that the chairman of the

had stated TO him that there was no OBJ
lection 10 his reelection TO Congress.
! his was the case also in tie districts
of his colleagues, and hence the vote in
Georgia was mere dress parade of the
Democratic party; those who voted
only coming ont to show respect to the
candidates. In New England it was
rare thing for parties to unite
upon candidate, and therefore
the full vote was brought out
and all parties and factions of

Mr.. Boutclle, of Maine, inquired

land was 80, 900 votes the average vote
in Georgia was only 1900.
Mr.. Turner said that he had already

THE FISHERY BILL.
How Hts Passage in Received In

tBy telegraph to the Dlspatch.)

TORONTO. January 25.-The passage
by the United States Senate yesterday
Of the Edmunds fisheries bin attracts
very little attention here None OF the
newspapers comment on the matter
editorially.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, January d.
There was great jubilation here last
night over the passage of the retalia-
ton fishery bill by the Senate. \
large crowd assembled in the vicinity
Of the custom-house and post-oiiice,
blocking the streets and awakening the
echoes with frequent cheers and other
manifestations of enthusiasm. The
general opinion is that the bill is what
the fishermen and owners here desire.
They do not want to be on unfriendly
terms with Canada, but do want the
accordance of commercial rights and
privileges.
lBy Anglo-Americsn cable to the Dispatoh.l
LONDON, January 26.-The Post this
morning, in an article on the passage in
the United States Senate Monday of the
fisheries retaliation bill, says 1--WE
are sure that Mr. Ingalls's outspoken
bitterness against England does not
represent the feeling of either the
American Senate or people. On the
other hand, it would be foolish to shut
our eyes TO the importance of the ques-
ton involved"
The Chronicle thinks that the fact
that Ihgalls's splenetic outbursts neither
surprised nor shocked more respecta-
bic senators is a far more serious mat
ter than the dispute itself, and hopes
that the Washington authorities will
early disclaim any community Of feel
ing with Ingalls,
The Daiy Ncus says: "To-dhy's
kilograms from New York, Montreal,
and Ottawa are Of II very reassuring
character. Nobody here regarded the
violent speeches of Senators Ingalls,.
Hale, and Frye seriously. Even digni-
fed American senator's are not above
playing TO the gallery. 1t is much TO
be hoped that no steps will be taken To
cxasperate a quarrel, and THAT the good
sense of Canada will insist upon a
policy Of peace.
The Standard says: "President
Cleveland will probably have the good
sense to veto the measure or agree to it
merely in form, rs n prelude to AMIGA
bic negotiations. We protest against
the idea of either England or Canada
being cocrced into yielding II jot or
little Of their rights by such empty
threats. We have none of the Interior
motives assigned by Messrs. Ingalls,,
Frye, and Hoar, but Americans, by
demanding such terms rs those indi-
Gated, ask more than Justice. The
dispute, however, ought not to be be-
yond the power Of diplomacy"
